Rent
PN 1997 .R4574 C6 2007


A great deal of emotion is displayed throughout this movie, strength being the main one I focused on. Rent shows its viewers no matter what a person may go through in life, they are never alone, and it’s never wrong to live in the moment. This is a very heartfelt, entertaining musical, with a cast that displays great talent.

The Chronicles of Narnia 

DVD PN 1997.2 .C47 2006


The Chronicles of Narnia is a classic film based off the classic C.S. Lewis novel. Complete with mythical monsters, a twisted plot, and concealed messages, The Chronicles of Narnia creates a fantasy world that will have everyone looking in the back of their wardrobe. Join Lucy, Peter, Susan, and Edmund as they find out about what it means to really be courageous and as they learn about consequences that have lethal implications. I would advise this movie for anyone, and for all ages. My favorite element is the soundtrack.

Buck


DVD SF 284.52 .B52 B83 2011




The movie Buck about a Wyoming horse trainer Buck Brannaman who travels all around the United States teaching people a different way to train their horses. You also learn more about his past and how he was raised by an abusive father and how he got into working with horses.

I recommend this movie to anyone who owns horses or wants to get into horses, Buck shows you how the horse thinks and how they feel and shows you how to work together as a team. He puts things in a different perspective about how you go and break horses since he was taught by Ray Hunt.

Killing Hope

JK 468 .I6 B59 2004



If you have concerns about the true political actions of our United States government over the decades, this book will confirm your fears. Not an entertaining read, but informative on so many levels.  You can pick your era, or trace a world situation from decades past to the current problems.

Amanda, brilliantly played by Marlee Matlin, is a photographer who begins to question her perceptions.  The film details her quest to understand alternate reality theories and different ways to observe the universe around us. 
Interspersed throughout Amanda’s adventures are interviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors.
This is a fascinating mental journey through various realms of thought.
